Ardreal Holmes

Ardreal “Bossman” Holmes relied on his superior height, boxing chops and movement to win a split decision that didn’t seem as close as the scores indicated against the aggressive Ismael “Maelo” Villarreal in a 10-round super welterweight contest Friday live on SHOWTIME from Stormont Vail Events Center in Topeka, Kan.

Flint’s own Ardreal Holmes Jr. chalked up another win, making it 15-0 with 6 KOs, after he put a stop to Marlon Harrington’s charge from Detroit in a swift second-round victory, defending his USBA Super Welterweight title with flair.
